An EIorcmcnt In Co,ored society

few days ago our colored society was
startled by the announcement that Miss
Cecilia Beckley, the beautiful and accom-
plished daughter Of Mr. Rosia Beckley, the
well-knowu Virginia politician, had eloped
with the Rev. John Plinket OF Virginia.
Miss Beckley is school teacher, aud Is
very fair, while The idol Of her heart is
black as coal and by no means prepossess-
ing in appearance. The color OF the groom
was toO much for the young ladys family
80 the mother followed her to Fairfax
County, Va, where she captured the young
lady and brought her back to Washington.
II is said that when the newly-married
preacher found that his unwilling mother
lu.law had taken his beautiful bride home,
he nearly lost his religion.

Why, anybody ought to know that 1t is
the short haul that costs the most. 1t isn't
necessary to convene Congress to tell us

get that card to the mail car only seven car

carry it 5000 miles for one cent. That's
the long haul. But 1t costs me quarter TO
get the porter to carry 1t to the postal car.
That's the short haul. Then the porter

WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY 10, 1887.
TINE MODERN AMERICAN GIRL.

When met her on the steamer,
Coming back from foreign climes,
A bright maideH did deem her,
And We had some pleasant times.
She was bright In conversations,
And such learning she displayed
When we spoke OF other nations,
That was In truth dlsmayed.
She'd foreign education,
Knew the language OF each land;
was dumb with admiration,
Though could not understand.
But her Eugllsh was affected,
For this nothing could atone;
Learning others, she'd neglected
To study up her own.
She could read me quite sermon
On the history of France.
When she spoke Of legends German
displayed gross ignorance.
And the bit I'd learned at college
Seemed ridiculous, until
j discovered she'd no knowledge
OF the fight at Bunker Hill.
She appeared to have passion
For the things OF other climes,
And learn that is the fashion
With the girls Of modern times.
Would that they were patriotic;
Would that they'd discard their airs,
For ideas less chaotic
OF American affairs. ,- -.

The Republican organs, as sew

their utilization of jefferson Davis.
Mr.. Davis is honored by the
Southern people because of his
spotiess personal character and
because he represented their cause
in the struggle which terminated
happily for all concerned nearly a
quarter ola century ago. Mr.. Davis
did not make the rebellion. 1t was
the people who seeded, or under
took to do so. The United States,
as wisely as magnanimously, with
the concurrence of the most ardent
Unionists and Abolitionists of the
North, declined to make either a
victim or a martyr of Mr.. Davis.
He is now a feeble old man, whose
course is nearly run and who has
only a patriots interest in his
country.
Would it not be more decent, not
to say chiyalrous, in the organic

President Cleveland Threatened
A Letter Received from
Holland wretches.

WASHINGTON, u, C, oot, ~
The following letter was received
at the White house yesterday, adj
dressed to President Cleveland;
To HE rFeSldcas et tss Catssss States.
Tue HAGUE, HOLLAND, Oct, Ii,
The council general of the social
Democratic federation of Holland,
feeling indignant AT the infamous
Judgment of the Illinois supreme
court in the ease of the Chicago an
archists, holds that the throwing of
a bomb in the meeting held May
1. 1886, was provoked by The out
rageous assault of the police upon
the peoples right Of free speech,
Furthermore. as the thrower of the
bomb is not known, the charging OF
the seven anarchists with the guilt
of this act is essentially arbitrary
and the outgrowth of class hatred.
Therefore, the social Democratic
federation OF Holland, in the name
OF humanity, liberty and justice,
protests against the sentence OF
death passed upon the Chicago an
archists, and despising the ruling
class OF making themselves a party
to this murder, shall hold the PreSi-
dent of the United States personally
responsible if their lives are taken.

GOULD ALARMED.

New YORK, Oct. 29.-The Eren-
ing Telegram declares that the an
archist leaders fixed upon Gould as
the man who by Il bold and liberal
use of his enormous money power
could stay the hand ofjustice in the
case of the Chicago anarchists and
prevent what they looked upon as
the slaughter of martyrs. Absurd
as this notion was, they had not
hesitated to act upon it boldly. At
first Gould was approached in a
neutral rather than a threatening
manner. The reliance of the an
archist brotherhood upon his great
power and upon his exercise of it in
their behalf was set forth inmyster-
ious communications which he re-
ceived sometimes by mail and
sometimes by the hand of furtive
messengers in the street. Later
the warnings became of so decided
a character and so explicit in their
terms that Gould, who was not a
man of timid disposition, became
thoroughly frightened and began
somewhat hasty preparations for a
long contemplated pleasure trip to
Europe. His departure to-day is
believed to be chiefly due to an en-
tire and natural willingness to pas:
the day of the anarchist executions
somewhat remote from the reach OF
any possibility of their insane mis-.
doing.
